Your Self-Driving Car Might Have a Thelma and Louise Setting
Ranting Out Loud
Chadrick, Lee and Producer Mike take a ride into the future of self-driving cars and immediately start wondering whether we're really ready to let the robot drive. Will self-driving cars make life safer for older people who don't want to give up their independence? Probably. Will they replace truck drivers, taxi drivers and Uber drivers? Almost certainly. Will someone eventually slur their destination, wake up 12 hours later and ask, "Why are we in Pennsylvania?" Absolutely. The gang gets into AI, disappearing jobs, liability, insurance, Elon Musk, drunk passengers, and the inevitable question...

Oh, HAIR NO!
Ranting Out Loud
Trump has a new wig, and honestly... OH, HAIR NO! This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick, Lee and Producer Mike start with the political distraction sitting on Trump's head before getting into Fauci pleading the Fifth, political retribution, the economy that's supposedly "the greatest ever," and why there always seems to be something shiny to distract us from the actual problems. Then we ask the question Republicans really don't want to hear: What happened to the Republican Party we used to argue with? From FDR and LBJ to today's Democratic socialists, Texas politics, and a new generation of...

The Fart of the Deal: Gross Misconduct Edition
Ranting Out Loud
Broadway meets Beltway in this week's Ranting Out Loud. Chadrick, Lee, and Producer Mike turn Washington into one big casting call, deciding which politicians belong in Wicked, Kinky Boots, The Sound of Music, Phantom of the Opera, and, of course... My Fair Lady G. Along the way, they tackle the latest political closet gossip, speculate about Mitch McConnell's future, and ask an important question: if Ohio's Bernie Moreno ever starred in a movie, would it be Weekend at Bernie's? And if Kentucky's senior senator landed the role... well... that title suddenly makes even more sense. Throw in...

Tate Misbehavin' and Other Bro'dway Tunes
Ranting Out Loud
Is Washington D.C. hiding the world's worst-kept secret? This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick and Producer Mike dive into Hunter Biden's eyebrow-raising interview with Don Lemon, where talk of a "gay mafia" of closeted politicians has everyone asking the question nobody in Congress wants to answer. From closeted power players and political blackmail to the obsession with "manliness," testosterone, and the manosphere, the guys wonder if the loudest anti-LGBTQ voices are hiding in the biggest gold-leafed closets with an arched entry. Then it's on to POTUS's latest international cringe,...

Incontinent Leadership and Explosive Diarrhea: The Week in Diapers
Ranting Out Loud
"He had explosive diarrhea coming out of his Whatever." This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick, Lee and Producer Mike try to make sense of a week where death becomes her, as in Senator "Lady G" Graham, and the scramble to metaphorically (or literally) delete his browsing history. Also, Mitch McConnell is all dressed up but still in a hospital bed, is he really back from the dead? Why is the FBI raiding Lindsey Graham's closet? And most of the networks finally decided they'd had enough of another presidential speech full of crap, but why now? The gang dives into Texas politics, the 2028...

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Countries. Plus Where's Mitch?
Ranting Out Loud
Turns out Freedom 250 didn't just flop; it kept getting worse. Lee is back with Chadrick and Producer Mike to sift through the wreckage of America's birthday party, where empty crowds, rain delays, and Fox News' search for "the massive audience" became comedy gold. Then it's on to Mitch McConnell conspiracy theories, Ken Paxton's latest drama, Democrats eating their own before the midterms, and why the next generation may finally be ready to take the keys away from the political nursing home. To end on a lighter note, the guys ask a fun question: If you could travel back to 1996, what would...

Freedom 250: A Faceplant Like No Other
Ranting Out Loud
What could possibly go wrong? Turns out... pretty much everything. This week on Ranting Out Loud, Chadrick and Producer Mike watch the Freedom 250 celebration fall apart faster than a Trump business venture. Actually, it IS one and he stole your money to do it. Allegedly. We're talking collapsing stages, empty crowds, Fox News desperately searching for somebody—anybody—to put behind their cameras, and POTUS apparently workshopping policy ideas with Theodore Roosevelt's ghost. Somewhere between the world's saddest patriotic festival and the most expensive political vanity project ever...

UFC: Ultimate Failure Clowns ... With Dad Jokes
Ranting Out Loud
It's straight into Father's Day as Lee, Chadrick, and Producer Mike rank TV's best (and worst) dads—from Phil Dunphy and Ward Cleaver to Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Talking about dads, the biggest dad joke is in the White House as his pet passion projects peel away in failure like the skin on his hands ... and the "patriot blue" paint under the reflecting pool. Of course, no episode would be complete without a detour into Texas politics, where everyone's favorite absentee-and-going-to-Cancún-during-his-home-state's-ice-emergency dad and runner up for "Fat Wolverine", Ted Cruz, is busy...

Who Knew Swift and Sage Gets Rid of Orange Stains?
Ranting Out Loud
What happens when you mix Pride Month, Taylor Swift, Trump getting booed at Madison Square Garden, billionaire space races, hockey grievances, and World Cup predictions? You get another completely normal episode of Ranting Out Loud. We go head first into the reflecting pool of politics, sports, the power of Swifties, why billionaires keep getting richer while everyone else gets squeezed, and whether Mexico might just shock the world. Enjoy your Beer-Ritas, basketball comebacks, and as far as the folks at the White House, they can all UFC themselves!

Nobody Wants to Go to Your Stupid Party
Ranting Out Loud
Happy Pride Month! 🌈 AI is making politicians into superheroes and we're counting backwards from 60 Minutes as media companies are busy dismantling themselves. Nobody wants to go to the White House party while America's favorite distraction machine keeps finding shiny new objects for everyone to stare at. From the slow-motion collapse of trusted journalism to reality-TV politics, streaming obsessions, movie theater nostalgia, and the endless parade of grifts, scandals, and vanity projects, the gang follows the breadcrumbs to the question nobody seems willing to ask: What are we NOT supposed...

Then we ask the question Republicans really don't want to hear: What happened to the Republican Party we used to argue with?
From FDR and LBJ to today's Democratic socialists, Texas politics, and a new generation of politicians who aren't afraid of the S-word, the gang looks at whether today's supposedly radical ideas are actually... pretty damn familiar.
Plus media outlets manufacturing political brawls, billionaires building bunkers, and the continuing realization that reality has apparently stopped trying to make sense.
